RoadMap ======= <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/RoadMap> TODO ==== 1.20.x ~~~~~~ * Review this file and remove or update the old entries. * Look for FIXME and XXX items in the source. * Triage as much bugs as possible to get the bug count below 300 ;) and merge as much patches as possible. * Code cleanup / bug fixes: - Get rid of static variables inside functions. - Coalesce hash and checksum functions. - Split modstatdb_rw into mode and flags. - Move fd function out of mlib. - Cleanup status chars -> strings hardcoded mappings all over the place. (Fix tied field enum with its dselect description (pkgdisplay.cc)) - Refactor src/unpack.c. - Split dpkg.h into independent headers. - Do more unused header include removal. - Add needed includes to all header files. - Get rid of useless "unsigned" modifiers. - Use enums for currently hardcoded literals (replacingfilesandsaid, filetriggers_edited, etc). - Do not use nfmalloc (and friends) for non in-core db memory. - Call nffreeall on exit (need to detangle nfmalloc from non-db first). - Add a size parameter to the buffer API to avoid some useless pipe+fork+copy. - Handle instdir '/' separator consistently. - Check if caching selinux context for second call is possible. - Add missing newlines in --version output. - Handle symlinks in statcmd.c statdb_node_apply(). - Fix dpkg termination on SIGPIPE from status-fd. * libcompat cleanup: - Add fnmatch, IRIX5 doesn't have it. * Man pages: - Add example to dpkg-scanfoo manpages? - Merge synopsis lines in dpkg-triggers. - Check all command vs action. - Check usage of '|' instead of ', '. - Check position of short option before long option. - Fix dpkg man page, refs to dpkg-deb and dpkg-split, etc. - Fix «. ». * L10n: - Check dpkg-divert strings for new and fixable ones. - Standardize translated error messages in the perl code to avoid useless work for translators. - Check https://d-i.alioth.debian.org/spellcheck/level5/index.html * Discuss and implement https://www.hadrons.org/~guillem/debian/docs/origin.proposal * Deprecate --force-not-root flag (remove modstatdb_rw rootneeded flags). * Test and re-enable --command-fd. * Check --no-act for log_action(). * Add non-regression tests for Dpkg::Source::* * Add UTF-8 support to all programs. * Allow packages to register additional files, declare ownership of files for dpkg -S and -L without having dpkg act on this (.psuedolist?). * Make dpkg-checkbuilddeps easier to use by other programs such as pbuilder or sbuild, so that they can start using the new architecture wildcards automatically. - Support for output format. (#214566) * Fix conflicting action -%c, when short is 0. * We should set our own obstack_alloc_failed_handler. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old TODO entries from Scott: start-stop-daemon * capabilities support dpkg * allow external program to specify how to handle conffiles * dpkg --call-maint-script=<script> --maint-script-arg=<arg> --maint-script-arg=<arg> <pkg> <pkg> dpkg will not allow <script> to be one of {pre,post}{inst,rm}. Only unknown scripts can be called this way. dpkg will also not keep track of any state for these scripts. Fix: <joeyh_> package a conflicted with old versions of package b. package b conflicted with old versions of package a. I had the old versions of both installed, and told dpkg to install the new versions of a and b simultaneously. It refused. dselect: * support Enhances ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old TODO entries from IWJ: Here are some currently-known inadequacies: urgent * Conflicts << installation ordering * Version numbers in pre-depends stuff * Search for all pre-depends things at once, bomb out if any not found * _always_ show section in --yet-to-unpack * automatically do --yet-to-unpack in installation methods * check depending packages when installing new version. * Several things ought to be configurable but aren't. * Filenames containing newlines. Conffile names containing spaces. * dpkg --status for virtual packages * openpgp signatures in the package archive other stuff unlikely to get done soon * Automatically remove <file>.gz if <file> can't be found ? and maybe, remove <file> if <file.gz> can't be found? Big mess when we start thinking about bz2 :/ * Local version number (using non-numeric epoch, perhaps, or better yet, a --local option in dpkg, so that it marks this package as a local install (when running dpkg -i)? Keeps it from being listed as obsolete, and maybe from being considered for auto-upgrades (apt-get needs to know about this too) * Filename field generated by --record-avail * understand Replaces in dselect * diversions list as control archive entry * single maintainer script, and new package getting there first * local conffiles, as well as local files that dpkg should check before overwriting * dselect per-half focus and keybindings improvements. !missing bug report #1555! * how to change case of package names * 'fake' or 'null' packages * dpkg --query | -Q
